2. Do I need an appointment to meet with a Career Advisor?

YES. Unless you stop by during walk-in hours, you will need to call (646) 312-1330 to schedule an appointment with an Advisor. At certain times of the year, Advisors' schedules become booked up for weeks in advance. Please be sure to schedule your appointment early. Note: Prior to meeting with a career Advisor, you must complete the Career Advising Intake Form (and bring it with you to your first appointment).

5. When I apply to a job, do I need to send a cover letter along with my resume?

6. If I go on an interview and meet with more than one person, can I send a thank you letter to just one person and ask him to thank the rest for me?

It is always best to send an individual thank you letter to each person with whom you interview. Remember to request a business card from each person with whom you meet. This will make your follow-up easier.

7. Will the GCMC send student resumes directly to employers?

The Graduate Career Management Center will only submit student resumes to an employer that requests we do so. Typically, all employer contact information is provided with a job description and students are expected to submit their cover letter and resume directly to those organizations that interest them.

You may leave a voicemail clearly indicating the date/time of your appointment session. Appointments cancelled on the day of the appointment will be treated as outlined in the "no show" policy.
